Over at the Mili-Blog we learn that for Christmas he got “a pencil case for my godson made out of an old tyre – better than it sounds”. Hmmm.

Imagine the scene on Christmas day:

David Miliband “Here you go.”Godson “Thanks Uncle David!”DM “You’ll really like it, it is environmentally sound as well.”

[sound of enthusiastic tearing of recycled paper]

GS “A sodding pencil case made out of an old tyre? You tight, four-eyed twat.”

Bet the kid really did think that. Poor lad, probably bullied in the playground, mocked for bringing his pencils inside a bit of old tyre. What kind of godfather is Miliband?

Obviously no Nintendo Wii’s were bought for the tragically deprived kids of wonk families. Guido, coincidentally, got his godson a traditional handcrafted toy made from all natural materials – wood and rubber. The lad lives in Hampstead and so will probably be able to shoot carbon rocks at Miliband’s godson with his new catapault. Perfect.
